All that most people know about John Wilkes Booth was that he was a mad, drunken actor who killed Abraham Lincoln. That’s true, but not many people know the reasons for his historic and infamous actions. This solo show never portrays Booth as a hero, but rather gives a context for the most heinous act in American history. Written and directed by Lloyd J. Schwartz and featuring Stephen Spiegel as John Wilkes Booth, Hollywood’s Theatre West brings the production to the stage as part of their Portraits of Humanity 2 series of one-person shows.
